Orthodontic mini-implant primary stability depends on bone quality, implant design, and pilot drilling. Choosing the right implant and drilling parameters optimizes stability and minimizes loss.

Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Dental Implantology

Background:

  • Skeletal anchorage using mini-implants has expanded orthodontic treatment options.
  • Ensuring sufficient primary stability is crucial to reduce implant failure rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantitatively analyze factors affecting mini-implant primary stability.
  • Investigate the influence of bone quality, implant design, and pilot drilling parameters (diameter and depth).

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 36 porcine pelvic bone segments, measuring compacta thickness via micro-computer tomography.
  • Assessed primary stability by measuring insertion torque of five different mini-implant types.
  • Varied pilot drill diameters (1.0-1.3 mm) and depths (1-10 mm) for implant site preparation.

Main Results:

  • Primary stability varied significantly based on bone quality, implant design, and site preparation.
  • Dual Top screws demonstrated significantly greater primary stability compared to tomas-pin implants.
  • Excessive torque (>230 Nmm) led to fractures in 9 Dual Top screws.

Conclusions:

  • Compacta thickness, implant design, and pilot drilling significantly impact mini-implant primary stability.
  • Clinicians must select optimal implant and pilot-drilling combinations based on insertion site and local bone quality.
